During what may have been the final full day of testimony in the Alan Wood trial, jurors finished watching a recorded police interview with Wood's former co-defendant and heard several witnesses speak about letters Wood attempted to pass to her.

On the video, Tonia Watson said that she did not believe Wood intended to kill Nancy Dailey. Dailey, 80, was found tied up with her throat slashed and stabbed inside her home on Trafford Road in Royal Oak on Nov. 20, 2011.

"I think (Wood) just got scared," Watson told Royal Oak Police Detective Perry Edgell in the interview, which occurred shortly after Wood and Watson were arrested in Canton in late November 2011.

"He got scared that (Dailey) would talk if she was found."

Edgell disagreed.

"That's no accident," he told Watson. "That is a vicious murder."

Edgell asked Watson if Wood was laughing about the homicide.

"No, he wasn't laughing about it," she said.

"He was hurt."

She elaborated further.

"I know in my heart that (Wood) had no intentions of killing that lady that night," Watson said.

"He never wanted to hurt nobody, because if he did, he would have done it a long time ago."

Watson said she felt awful. She was given a cheeseburger, french fries, pop and a cigarette during the interview, which lasted more than two hours.

Edgell asked Watson what she would say to Dailey, if it were possible.

"I'm so sorry that this happened," Watson said.

After the video, testimony turned to letters Wood attempted to send to Watson in jail.

Wood asked Dale Wells, an inmate who worked as a trustee in the jail, if he knew where Watson's cell was. Wells said he did, and Wood later handed him a letter.

Wells, who testified Wednesday afternoon, said he took the letter but gave it to a deputy instead of Watson.

During preparations for the trial, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office asked for a writing sample from Wood. Oakland County Sheriff's Deputy William Ochadleus was asked to obtain the sample. Ochadleus, who also testified Wednesday, said he had each inmate write a list of items they'd like from the chaplain's office for Christmas.

Wood's list was used as a writing sample, but he also received the items he requested, Ochadleus said.

The final witness of the day was Ruth Holmes, a handwriting examiner who has been in the field since 1979 and owns her own handwriting examination company.
